NewMotion Network

With extensive EV charge point coverage across mainland Europe, the NewMotion network also has a presence in the UK. The network is made up of fast and rapid chargers, with points currently only available in England.

There is no cost to join the NewMotion network, and access is available through either an app or RFID card, with users billed on a pay-as-you-go basis.

NewMotion network access

Access to the NewMotion network is made using either a smartphone app or with an RFID card. Registration is required beforehand for either access method, with a bank card linked to the account billed once the charging session is complete.

Finding NewMotion points on Zap-Map

All NewMotion points can be found on Zap-Map by using the network filter. This can be used on the desktop and mobile apps, and displays only those points operated by NewMotion.

Charging types and speeds can be filtered too, showing only those points that are compatible with users’ cars.

Accessing points on other networks

The NewMotion app and RFID cards only work on the network’s points, with no cross-network compatibility available. To use other network points, drivers must first follow the same processes as any other customer.
